It ain't easy being a Southern Belle! You've got to be a "steel magnolia" and the expectations are high. It can be tough to strike a balance between playing the pretty girl and keeping the whole wide world in order. Oh well, somebody has to do it and it might as well be me...Stay tuned...I've got ALL of the answers

Just got home from Clemson and Lorelai's graduation. Our friends Ann and Tom made the trip up, as did neighbor Deborah and her daughter Gracie. Legare rolled in from Charlotte to complete our merry little band. The ceremony was in Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson and it was pretty much packed. Lor's group graduated in the second of the three ceremonies for the day.We headed back to Greenville after for a celebration dinner at High Cotton then back to the hotel where we collapsed after nightcaps and the opening of gifts. This morning, Ann and Tom headed out early while Hank waited patiently as Lor and I slept late. Then a spot of shopping and the trip home.

I'm a little disappointed in my pictures...ever since my camera got wet in the boat it just hasn't been the same. Anybody know somebody at Nikon? Anyhow...here are a few snapshots.

I drew an orange mark on her stole so you can tell which is Lor.

One must go into the stadium after the ceremony...

Rubbing Howard's Rock...a long tradition. Every home game each coach and player rubs the rock before running down the hill.﻿

Next comes possible foot surgery (we'll know on Wednesday) or a summer job before she returns to Clemson in August for graduate school in School Counseling. We'll be back at the grad school commencement in 2014.
